This spring, the NAEP conducted subject assessments of students across the country. The results of the mathematics assessment are now available, with breakdowns of the data by year, state, and student characteristics.

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is a project designed to assess what America's students know and can do in various subject areas. Since 1969, NAEP has periodically conducted assessments in mathematics, science, reading, writing, history, geography, the arts, and other fields.
